Autopsy
The Headless Ritual




1. Slaughter At Beast House

You'll be slaughtered by the beastDeep inside the shadows lies the cellarWhere the beast emergesFilth of legend pale and foulYou'll satisfy it's hellish urgesYou'll be slaughtered by the beastYears long ago when the creature arrivedThe slaughter was brutal, just one left aliveA new breed of victims moved into this hellMurders of innocents quickly befellAgain there was one left alive like beforeShe soon was turned into the beast's willing whoreA slave to it's hideous mutated sexShe'd kill for this unholy cannibal wretch[Lead - EC]Bearing it's voracious youngThis nightmarish spawning begunTales of torture and screamsBring unknowing blood offeringsSee the midnight tourDepicting scenes of carnage from the pastThe myths are real, you're next to dieYour first visit will be your last[Lead - DC]You'll be slaughtered by the beast


2. Mangled Far Below

The ancient civilizationsIn their temples filled with dreadWere linked together with their godsBy rivers flowing redProsperity and powerGained from bodies without headsIn sacrifice the balance liesThe chosen stricken downThe gods' insatiable lust for deathHad limits never foundHarmony can only existWith corpses on the groundHumans squander greatnessThe ways of wisdom goneA cancerous shadow loomingI must bring back the dawnSelected for this, I amThis world screams insideThe lambs await my comingI see inside their mindsOne by one the open mindsAre standing by my sideTaken from the hand of darknessFor sanity they've criedCast aside your past lifeYou have joined the enlightened pride[Lead - DC]The ancient blood will spill againOur numbers only growOur temples raised, our hearts are pureThe power in us flowsI'll lead my people to the sunThe time has come to goThe vultures will feed and I will look downOn the mangled far below


3. She Is A Funeral

Bone pale, dead moonEnraptured by the sweet scent of the graveShe walks amongst the carven stonesSeeing black, I found the morbid way[Chorus]I heard her callHer funeral moansI was transfixedShe took my soulDread night, crypt tripFollowing the shadows in my mindLifeless clouded dead eyes gazeDressed in filthy white, I saw her face[Chorus]Death entwined with beautyShe drained my bleeding soulI saw the casket openShe is a funeral[Lead - DC]Grey mist, death kissIn the ground six feet of darkness sighedDrifting down, I heard her laughAs the maggots squirmed between her thighs[Chorus]


4. Coffin Crawlers

On the other side of the shattered mirrorMy world is darkFrom the corner of my blood red eyeRepulsive shadows breedGrave mist swirls and black clouds harbor daggersIn this hallucinatory wastelandI hear them crawl[Chorus]Spawned from the pits of a sickening worldCoffin crawlers, coffin crawlersBreath of the stench of the blackest soilCoffin crawlers, coffin crawlersWorm like faces and filth encrusted handsHeadstone hiders, casket ridersEyes like vomit stained clouded glassCoffin crawlers, coffin crawlersThey open up wounds on the cast away deadLeaning down with claws imbeddedInhaling pure death from dessicated headsGrotesquely twisted limbsAnd wretched minds contortLifeless eyeballs are removedWith the dead unbeating heart[Chorus]They're crawlingOnly I can see themThey want to eat my eyesBut I'll take them out myselfTheir feast will be denied[Lead - DC]


5. When Hammer Meets Bone

Come into our houseWithin the darkness we are hereEveryone who wanders in is sure to disappearThe door behind you shuts and locksYou smell the stench of deathThat's when the hammer crashes downAnd annihilates your headYour ruined faceIt leaves a trail of crimson on the floorAs your body's dragged into a roomWith blood it is adornedThe freezer's full of butchered partsOf others just like youThe rats can eat the scraps that dropAnd then we'll eat them tooWe've been here for many yearsInbreeding in the filthThrough ages upon agesOf devouring our killsA naked blood stained light bulbShows the mating on displayGurgling sounds emitFrom twisted worm like writhing shapesHere we are in wait for youDeformed and caked in goreThis hammer made of lead and concreteEver hungers more[Leads - DC, EC]When the hammer meets the boneYour screams have gone unheardWhen pools of blood are red and deepSurvival is absurdThere is no sanctuaryThere is no mercy shownBlunt force smashing is the lawYour skull and mind are blown


6. Thorns And Ashes

I am the thornsThat puncture your skinI am the stormWhere your sanity's beenI am the flamesThat devour your bonesI am the ashesWhere shadows have grown


7. Arch Cadaver

The arch cadaver turns aroundMaggots falling from his eyesSurveying pummeled smoldering fieldsThe living turned to clay they've met their day[Chorus]No battles foughtJust a wave of his handDeath rays and smoke trailsWash over the landBorn created conjured spunIn webs of foul deeds undoneFootsteps crush and shock the groundHis fingers point to where you're bound[Chorus][Leads - DC, EC, DC, EC]His head tilts back, his throat agapeLook inside and see your fateBleeding stars and moons rotateIn ways that make the strong insane[Chorus]Lidless eyes, orbs of blackDoorways to wrathAll become oneHeaped in great piles of ash[Death Rays - DC]


8. Flesh Turns To Dust

Time has taken your living fleshStolen your last gasping struggling breathLungs in upheaval, brain in a tombBecoming sand in a world of gloomNo teeth in it's skull, yet you're eaten awayYour epitaph clearer while tissues decay[Chorus]Your flesh, it turns to dustThe dice of bones are carved and castThere's pain to bring and time to killThere's cemetery holes to fill[Leads - EC]Despite your will, you can't commandThe reaper's all ensnaring hand[Chorus]


9. Running From The Goathead

Lying on the floor I realize my fateI've become victim, I've become hateHow did this horrible night come to bePiece by piece it comes after meIt catches up and grabs my throatAll I see is the head of a goatIt's sharpened fingers slice my faceThe catch is better than the chase[Chorus]It comes after meRunning from the goatheadBlood in my eyes, I cannot seeBlack heart chaserTerror races through my mindRunning from the goatheadI run with it behind... meHallways that are long and darkScratching walls, looking for a doorThe burns and cuts have left their markI see others have come beforeWhat kind of fate did they meetThis evil place cries for moreWith brutal weapons all are beatTo live I must come to the fore[Chorus]Running from the goatheadRunning from the goatheadRunning from the goathead[Leads - EC, DC][Chorus]
